Phone is not getting signal to make calls, sometime it works but not for the most part. I can hear callers at times but they can not hear me.

Question

Hello.
Looking for help on how to get a better signal when receiving and placing calls.  Phone got a little wet and is having hard time placing calls and receiving call.  Calls are breaking up most of the time but some times I have 4 bars and phone calls goes through just fine. Noticed phone is having troubling connecting to towers.  Get a call but caller can not hear me when I have only one bar showing on phone.  Phone does hit 4 bars sometime and phone call is clear.  Any suggestion., new phone still learning how to use.   Should I try to reset to factory settings???  Have read lot of negative comments on the web about doing this.  Trying all options before going to the Apple store.
Thanks for any help or advice.

I ended up getting a new phone, straight through Apple.  I called their technical support and went through all he basics again and they decided to replace it.  Was a pretty quick process - after defaulting and resetting the whole phone (about 2 hours),  I called them back to inform that there was no change, so they set up the order.
I had to give my CC# so they could hold a charge on it (in case I didn't send my old phone bach, which they sent me a pre-posted package to send it in anyway).  Had a brand new iPhone 4S in my hands in 4 days, which was pretty decent.  I had uploaded everything previously to iCloud, so setting up the new phone was a snap.
Only thing I really didn't like was they charged me almost 30 bucks for shipping or processing, or something.  Not so sure that should have been my responsibility after spending so much on a brand new product, only to have to have it warrantied after, like, a month.
